A Colca Canyon horseback ride on Peruvian Paso horses: about an hour and a half on rural trails with mountain views and a guide who speaks three languages.

A Colca Canyon horseback ride puts you in the saddle for a different view of the valley. The outing lasts between one and a half and two hours on old country trails, as the Colca Valley and the surrounding peaks open up in wide views as the horse walks on.

The horses are Peruvian Paso, known for a special gait found nowhere else in the world. They are very safe and experienced, and the equestrian guide, fluent in Spanish, English and French, teaches the basics of handling the animal and of earning its trust. Along the trail you see birds and other wild animals, together with the domestic ones of the countryside.
